So i can get back to things :)

Well i finally got my new element installed and was able to get some blades heatreated.

Blade: 3/16" ATS-34
Handles: TI
Spacers: TI
Latch: TI
IKBS Powered!!

I cant get a good pic of this one,i really have to dig out my light tent to show anodizing better..,or learn photoshop.

OAL is 9.7: with blade at 4.4: with 4" of edge.swedge was ground on a 2" wheel and main bevel on a 4"er.i left swedge at about .010" so it could be sharpened but is'nt so you wont get cut :).bevels have a 1000 hand rubbed finish with flats at 600.handles have a grippy satin finish with the holes and insides anodized a cool purple.but i cant get it to show..,just looks boney...lol. i used a new skeleton pattern..,kinda staggered.

Anyway,take a peek!

Beautiful! I love your bali. The anodized purple on the inside is a nice touch.
